is delighted to announce its participation in the third edition of

- From 19th to 22nd February 2026 -

For his second participation in MAZE Art Gstaad, François Laffanour will present an exclusive and previously unseen piece by the Brazilian designer José Zanine Caldas. A major figure in 20th-century design, internationally recognized for his work with solid wood, Caldas unveils here an exceptional work that combines his iconic craftsmanship with the particularly rare use of ceramic tiles in his production. This piece, previously held in a private residence in Ibirapuã, Brazil, will be presented to the public for the very first time.

This rectangular dining table, resting on two massive bases, is crafted from solid Sucupira wood.  Of exceptional rarity, it stands out for its tabletop adorned with ceramic tiles, a feature rarely documented in the work of José Zanine Caldas, which gives the piece a remarkable formal and material uniqueness.

It shows Caldas's radical approach, for whom furniture is rooted in a direct, almost primal, connection to material and process. Crafted entirely by hand, from wood sawn by hand and then sculpted with traditional tools, the table retains the visible traces of the manual labor involved.

The surface treatment, achieved through sanding and waxing, reveals the density and depth of the wood, while accentuating the subtle tension between the massive structure, its unusual proportions, and the delicate integration of the ceramic decoration. This piece stands out as a seminal work, firmly establishing José Zanine Caldas within a broader and more discerning interpretation of 20th-century design.

The gallery will also present a rigorous curatorial selection, conceived as a manifesto around furniture, architecture and objects from the mid-20th century, with a strong emphasis on the 1950s, a pivotal moment when design became structure, function, and language.

Cutlog 2011

cutlog 2011

Cutlog

cutlog’s next edition will take place at the Paris Bourse de Commerce, October 20-23, 2011
The first selection is almost finished. A few booths are still available!
Please subscribe to: info@cutlog.org
cutlog, a Parisian, cutting-edge contemporary art fair dedicated to promoting international galleries which are supporting emerging artists, will hold its third edition from the 20th to the 23rd of October 2011. The galleries of cutlog 2011 will present artworks from their emerging artists, as well as the latest works from their established positions. cutlog is both an alternative and a complement to the other art fairs, focused on presenting under-the-radar galleries, it offers a platform to up and coming artists, as well a bridge between galleries and established collectors. Held under the dome of the Bourse de Commerce, France’s historical equivalent of Wall Street. It is a skip and a jump away from the Grand Palais, the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou. There, in the circular, 1000 meter square room, it disrupts th e typical, stern patterns of fairs and encourages a dialogue from galleries to visitors.

A selection of 35 international and French galleries, will offer a new visibility and a move away from Parisian art fairs. Since its kick-off three years ago, Cutlog has steadily gathered the upper crust of worldwide press, collectors, museum directors, curators and art lovers. The fair opens to the Guest of Honour and for the press on Wednesday 19th, followed by 4 days of open views alongside thematic conferences and artists films.

Last year, cutlog welcomed 15 000 visitors from all other the world.

This « salon » confirmed his status as the most international French satellite art fair: more than ten countries will participate to cutlog 2011, galleries will come from Asia, USA and Europe.Described as “la crème de la fair” by Dazed and Confused and ”the most European art fair” by Beaux Arts magazine, it has steadily gathered the upper crust of worldwide press and buyers – and no less is expected for this year.

The Swiss bank Pictet & Cie has confirmed its support and commitment to contemporary art by being cutlog’s main sponsor. A pre-opening and a private dinner will be organized for the European Clients.
As one of culog’s main partners Mercedes Benz will provide a limousine service for collectors during the fair.For the second successive year, Bavaria will be supporting contemporary art by being one of cutlog’s main sponsors.

PROGRAMME:

Friday 21, the ARTE channel will give the ARTE / cutlog prize and will reward an artist exhibited at cutlog 2011.The prize will be presented at the Bourse de Commerce de Paris during the fair. A jury composed of personalities from the art world will award the winner a 5000 euro grant.
